Again,if you would actually pay attention you would know that during the first 2 yrs,they only had a filibuster proof majority for 4 months at which time they were working on Obamacare.

In reality Obama spent any political capital he had in the those 4 months. It was a ramrodding through and now repubs have heals dug in. Totally understandable because Obama shot his wad on Obamacare not caring about anything else. Lets just get Obamacare passed no matter the costs polticially or to the country. Well now Obama is reaping what he sowed. The country didn't want him doing such radical legislation anymore and took away his majority in the House and really the Senate as well because they can no longer block a fillibuster.

in 2014 it gets worst. Repubs gain in the Senate and keep the house. Obama is nuetered and the country is relatively safe from his ineptitude.

Between benghazi & the IRS which has been on the news the past two weeks,Obama's approval has gone up to 51% on Gallup & 47% at its lowest on fox news poll. Considering your post,it's apparently clear it's about politics not substance/truth.

Yup. And CNN's latest polling finds the same thing as Gallup.

Quote:

According to the survey, which was conducted Friday and Saturday, 53% of Americans say they approve of the job the president is doing, with 45% saying they disapprove. The presidentís approval rating was at 51% in CNNís last poll, which was conducted in early April.

Did Bush ever have that? Seems like you guys claim he effed the country up completely, and he hardly ever even had a bare majority.

What you fail to understand,I'm glad you bring this point up, is that dems actually respect the vote of the American people. GWB was elected & as such had a right to push through his agenda. Unfortunately the same can't be said about rethugs.

That's what happens when someone, like many of the people on here, assumes guilt before an investigation.

It comes off as petty and combative. Considering the history of the Obstructionist Congress, it should come as little surprise that their villain is going to come out smelling like a rose in the eyes of the public.

Should have let the investigation go forward uninhibited and unburdened by the media circus, and let the facts lead where they may. Instead it's having the reverse effect. Keep going crazy, righties...with enemies like this, who needs friends?

Nixon won 60% of the vote 5 months after the Watergate break in. 3 months after the Washington Post discovered a Nixon campaign check had been cashed by one of the burglars.

, all that's going happen here is a backlash against rethugs for overreaching. They got nothing on the IRS scandal as far as Obama goes. The benghazi scandal is that the GOP doctored the emails to make Obama look bad.

The congressmen from my area were elected to push for the wants and needs of the citizens that elected them. I fully expect them to fight tooth and nail against Obamaís liberal agenda and anything short of that would be grounds for not reelecting them the next term.

If members of the OM that participate on the WRP were members of congress, absolutely nothing would get passed. There would be zero compromise between us. The disrespect and division of congress on the national level is even worse, so why would you expect anything different?

This attitude/belief is why rethugs/conservatives will be a minority party & will never see the majority power.

Tell me what part of my post is untrue and it's a double edged sword that cuts both ways, do you see any compromise from the democraps?

They've compromised for decades, rethugs used to compromise as well. Rethugs have been overrun by the fringe of their base,largely due to the fact that they have pushed anyone with any resemblance of moderation out of your party.
